[PATCH 11/11] fbdev: Remove conflict-handling code

Thomas Zimmermann tzimmermann at suse.de
Thu Jul 7 15:39:52 UTC 2022


Remove the call to do_remove_conflicting_framebuffers() from the
framebuffer registration. Aperture helpers take care of removing
conflicting devices. With all ownership information stored in the
aperture datastrcutures, remove remove_conflicting_framebuffers()
entirely.

This change also rectifies DRM generic-framebuffer registration, which
tried to unregister conflicting framebuffers, even though it's entirely
build on top of DRM.
